    I have posted on this topic before:

    There seems to be a plethora of so called "religions" (CULTS) that have emerged from my viewpoint, from a point of obscurity to a little more prominence, or maybe I have been nieve to their pressence? Well any case I've been doing some research on four of them. Of course the one I and we all are associated with, the JW's. I have come to find the mormons or latter day saints, moonies or the unification church and iglesia nicristo members have some striking similarities. I'm going to post their websites in order and name a couple similarities, the websites alone are striking and I'm sure you can go on to see for yourself many more. My previous posts touched on a couple of them. Two glaring similarites that I have noticed are: 1) They were all started by a random man who claimed to be divinely inspired near and around the early 1900's. 2) They all claim to be the ONE true "religion".

    So without further ado here are the websites :

    JW.ORG

    LDS.ORG

    FAMILYFED.ORG or DPLIFE.INFO/

    INCMEDIA.ORG

    JW.ORG AND INCMEDIA.ORG are both celebrating 100 years of history since 1914.

    FAMILYFED.ORG posts a video on their sister site DPLIFE.INFO/ main page that is very similar to the new video the JW rank and file are being commanded to share in the ministry.

    JW.ORG AND LDS.ORG both have a governing body.

    All of the CULTS have some sort of disfellowshipping policy for errant ones...

    Oh here's one more CULT, ADVENTIST.ORG , for seventh day Adventists , they also believe in a new earth or paradise and resurrection to earth, and they have a form of disfellowshipping...

    http://www.adventist.org/beliefs/apocalypse/the-new-earth/

    So that's a total of FIVE to go along with my original post.

    Guess the rabbit hole is deeper than we think...

    If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

    Replace duck with CULT...

    I must say that the presentational video on adventist.org is very impressive. *justcultthings*

    WBA if you thought that was compelling check out the moonies presentational video, it's very similar to the JW's new presentational video. I won't be surprised if these videos are removed. The music is really catchy...

    Wow....the Adventist website and video's could EASILY be switched with JW.org videos. I find it amazing that growing up as a JW, I had never even heard of Seventh Day Adventists, even though I live in Pennsylvania, home to BOTH religions. Also, the similarities between the two is astounding. SDA is like JW-Lite. It's like SDA's believe nearly all the same things, even Paradise Earth, but celebrate all the holidays, yet still shun. My never-been-a-JW wife actually asked me about SDA's last week. I informed her I was actually looking into them and was interested when I decided to leave JW's, but once I saw their failed prophetic history, control, and SHUNNING methods, I told her it was just another flavor of CULT. No thanks!

    Gday all, I have been an SDA for most of my life and could give some insight to clear things up here. The SDAs don't shun or disfellowship.

    The belief of SDAs is at the second comming of christ the church is taken to heaven the earth is destroyed burnt and becomes hell for the wicked. SDAs do believe in hell but not an everlasting hell. After a thousand years the earth is recreated into a paradice earth and repopulated by the faithful from heaven.

    The reason I left the church is because of the 1844 doctrine too complicated to explain here for lack of time at the moment also the role of Ellen g White in the church is promoted by some as being very cultic. Not all Adventists believe these doctrines and i for one openly dissagreed with some of their teachings without any consequences. The SDAs are at present have conflicts over womens ordination, homosexuality and evolution which is taught in some of their universities.

    My family and I now attend the Anglican church which is closer to what I have believed as a christian.

    Personally I have no preferences for one church or denomination over another except I would decide the suitability of another church after a few visits. I would even go to another SDA church if I believed it was a good church that had an evangelical outlook Barry

    WingCommander - "SDA is like JW-Lite."

    I am never gonna forget that comparison.
